For Today - Feeling Feelings

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without significance. - The Bible, I Corinthians

The voice that is loudest right now is the nightmare that haunts my sleep.  I feel like I am hibernating, letting this gestate, after being buried for so long.  And it is hard and scary and disturbing and I would rather not.  But it is.  And my subconscious has its own voice.  So when we talk about feeling the feelings in OA, this is one example of a situation where I have usually actively refused.  So for today, I'm not.  I'm sitting with it, living with it, and letting it linger to see what that voice says next. 

The For Today is more about listening to others' share.  And that's true, definitely.  But for me, for today, the part that resonates is "I can never know in advance when someone will say just what I need to hear."  Even if that someone is me.

Blessed be.
